Coastal Resources Commission, known as the CRC. The division serves as staff to the CRC.
Beach & Waterfront Access
The Division of Coastal Management awards about $1 million a year in matching grants for projects to improve pedestrian access to the state's beaches and waterways. Funding for the Public Beach and Coastal Waterfront Access Program comes from the N.C. Parks and Recreation Trust Fund.
